I get the same recurring error. That's the reason why I've said that the site would go totally down again.
It seems it is still resisting, although with continuous random errors.

We are still getting a ridiculous amount of bots even though the most aggressive that might take the site down are being blocked (as you can see by the user numbers most of whom aren't logged in and a large amount of those are bots, either the legit ones such as googles and those being more malicious). Sometimes they are hitting the site so quickly and with so many requests that its causing the session table that XenForo uses for people who aren't logged in to hit its max size before the hourly cleanup script runs. I've tweaked some settings to lower the threshold a little bit before they get auto blocked and also have adjusted it so the hourly cleanup runs every 30mins rather than every hour
